I’m CEO of Pedro Martinez, Ltd, an IT consulting firm, co-founder of Gold Does Not Rust

By Mike Malony from GoldSilver.com — St. George gold coins from Russia’s Central bank are rusting–something .999 pure gold doesn’t do. The Russian St. George gold coins appear to contain impurities; brown spots and streaks are clearly visible under a jeweler’s loupe, and the coins are different in color when held up next to a pure gold coin.

Is it hot enough for you yet? Well, I’m really loving this hot weather to be honest. I hate winters and in Richmond, VA we just had a brutal one this year; I’m sure we weren’t the only ones. Warm weather really motivates me to exercise, especially to hit the pavement with a 5K or a 10K morning run as few times a week. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m from the Caribbean, but I do enjoy this hot, sticky weather.

Based on evidence that has always and only been observed during or immediately prior to U.S. recessions, the U.S. economy appears headed into a second leg of an unusually challenging downturn.

The U.S. government printed more money in May than in April, making it the second highest production month of 2010 behind leading March, according to figures from the agency responsible for manufacturing U.S. currency. The value of the banknotes produced in May, however, was the most of any month this year.

Sometimes, the good old whiteboard is the best tool to brainstorm about new concepts and application features, especially after a couple of glasses of wine. Lately, I’ve started to use a blank sheet of paper 11” x 17” (preferred) or 8 ½” x 11” in size and a pencil for designing User Interface (UI) concepts. I later use Publisher or Photoshop to re-create a digital version of it.
TurboTax, Not So Turbo After All

I’ve started receiving emails from Intuit’s TurboTax service. This was very strange, especially because I have not used their service this year. The email was addressed to RAMON MARTINEZ. Obviously we both share the same last name, but RAMON is nowhere near PEDRO when it comes to spelling. Regardless, I’m now receiving all his tax information online, and could potentially change his Intuit’s account password and make some damage. So much for online security.
